I saw several ladies arguing inside.
"I saw it first. I want this cabinet. Sell it to me, girl!"
"Don't give it to her! My son is getting married, and I want it. I want all the boxes, cabinets, and baskets!"
"Girl, tell me how much money you want, I'll give you more than they do!"
When a few people said this, the people behind them became unhappy and said they wanted some too. They argued so much that they almost started fighting.
But at this moment, a girl in homespun clothes shouted loudly, her voice was particularly loud—
"Everyone, be quiet! If you keep making noise, the patrols and the police might be here soon!"
When we talked about patrol and police station, everyone quieted down.
An older woman in front couldn't help but yell, "Girl, tell me how much you're going to sell this cabinet for? I've already told you I'm offering you the most, and you're not saying anything. If you don't sell it, we're leaving!"
"Yeah!" The others couldn't help but nod. But they were afraid of the patrol and the police, so they didn't dare to shout loudly.
In the crowd, Zhang Xingrong remained calm and explained with a smile, "Listen everyone, I want to give these things to the department store. We only have one set here, but the production team has a lot more. If you really want them, go over there and register! Once we have a headcount, we'll know how much to take! You don't have to spend extra money. We're selling things, not capitalism, so we won't ask you to spend more!"
She hadn't expected so many people to want boxes and cabinets. It seemed like there were so many things missing these days. But then again, with so many people in a city, and the only places to buy things being department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, how could it not be crowded? As for the state-owned grocery stores, they generally sold food, and very little else.
So if you want to buy something, you still have to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores. No wonder the supply and marketing cooperatives are so crowded. Furthermore, at this time, you need to buy things with tickets, and the quantity is limited. For large items like cabinets, you definitely need a ticket, and even if you have a ticket, there's no guarantee they'll be available. So, the situation is that some people have money but can't buy anything. No wonder so many people are crowding here today.
"I've registered! When will you deliver it to the department store? When will the department store stock the goods?"
"This comrade is so bold that he dares to set up a stall in front of our department store!" Hu Zhihe, having seen enough of the show, spoke out to stop him.
Zhang Xingrong looked up and saw a middle-aged man standing opposite her.
The man had a square face and a serious expression. His features were relatively calm, yet he held an air of authority. Fortunately, his eyes, though stern, held no treacherous edge.
Looking at this, Zhang Xingrong knew that this person was no ordinary person. Considering what he said, he worked in the department store, so his position should be quite high.
After a quick thought, Zhang Xingrong shouted, "Everyone, please disperse. I'm going to discuss the boxes and cabinets with the people at the department store. If you want to buy boxes and cabinets in the future, just go to the department store!"
As she spoke, she looked at the man opposite her. He looked even uglier, but he didn't say anything to stop her.
"When?" asked the lady in front. Her son was getting married and she needed to prepare things, so she was in a hurry.
Zhang Xingrong estimated for a moment and said, "We'll be stocking up soon. Everyone, keep an eye on the department store these days!"
As he was speaking, the secretary arrived with the security personnel. Five or six strong men immediately dispersed the crowd.
